Thanks for the report Matthew7!. It certainly looks fishy out there but there is a lack of real bird action, a lot of bait scattered everywhere and the water temp keeps changing. Last week the water temp had gone back up and I had my FF showing up to 69.8 at the end of the week while it was overcast most of the day. Then this last Friday it was, no overcast, hot, sunny and almost no wind (also lack of tide swing) but the water was 64.3. Can't figure out why the temp has gone up and back down so many times in the last 3-4 weeks. I'm able to cover a lot more water now on the Solo Skiff, but finding the Yellowtail hitting the surface is still about being "in the right place, at the right time". Last Friday looking around the edges of the south LJ SMA, I spotted like 5-6 white splashes on the surface a little more than 100 yards away, as did two guys on Hobies, we all headed to the spot. They were a lot closer but with the Solo Skiff I covered the distance quicker and as we get to the area about the same we throw jigs but they were already gone. Just happens and in 15-20 seconds they are gone. If you're lucky enough to be there when it happens, you have a chance.
